Two Unique Cemeteries

The many trees in the cemetery helped provide shade to visitors. 
For our fourth trip we went to Olivewood, and Glenwood cemeteries. They were two completely different cemeteries in every aspect that you can think of. Glenwood was a very big, nice cemetery, covering 84 acres. The trees and the cleanness made it a really good place to walk around and feel peaceful. The sound of the wind and the chirping from the birds also made it feel even more calm and peaceful. On the other hand, Olivewood was completely the opposite of Glenwood. The grass was half  dead, instead of hearing the birds chirping and the sound of the trees, the only thing you could hear were the crickets in the dry grass and the zooming of the cars next to the freeway. There were some stones almost out of the ground and some of them were even cracked already. It was a major difference between the other one. There were some epitaph that were interesting to read, and some of them left you meditating about the true meaning behind those words. It was a really nice experience going to both of the cemeteries, because they show different aspects in all ways.
